I am running for the state legislature because I believe in Wyoming's future and the opportunities ahead for our state. My background in local government has shown me how state policies affect our communities and the importance of responsible budgeting and effective public service. My experience in the legal field has strengthened my understanding of the law, due process, and the importance of fairness and accountability, while my work in cybersecurity has prepared me to address today's technology and public safety challenges. These experiences have equipped me to make informed, data-driven decisions, work across different perspectives, and serve every constituent with integrity and transparency.
I believe housing affordability is one of the most significant challenges facing our state, but a 50% reduction in property taxes is not the right solution. It would primarily benefit property owners while reducing critical revenue that funds schools, roads, public safety, and other essential services. Non-property owners would see little to no relief while still facing the impacts of reduced services.
If implemented, it should be responsibly backfilled, but not through a sales tax that shifts the burden onto working families. We should instead pursue targeted, sustainable reforms that improve affordability without undermining our communities.
I oppose the large-scale sale or exchange of public lands. Public lands are a defining part of Wyoming’s identity and economy, supporting recreation, wildlife habitat, access for hunting and fishing, and local livelihoods. Once these lands are sold, they are rarely returned to public ownership, and access for future generations can be permanently lost.
That said, I recognize that limited, carefully considered land exchanges can sometimes serve the public interest. However, these should be rare, transparent, and structured to ensure there is no net loss of public access or long-term public benefit.
Overall, public lands should be preserved and managed for long-term public benefit, not treated as assets to sell for profit.
I believe Wyoming’s public education system is essential to the strength of our communities, and we must do more to support our teachers and schools. While the current structure and funding model provide a foundation, we should continue working to ensure it is strong, stable, and responsive to local needs.
Teachers are at the center of student success, and we must ensure they have the resources, compensation, and support needed to succeed in the classroom. Strong schools also strengthen our communities by attracting families, supporting local economies, and preparing the next generation of Wyoming leaders.
We should focus on maintaining stable funding, empowering local school districts, and ensuring the future of education in our state.
I believe public funds should responsibly support essential social services, but our long-term focus must be addressing the underlying issues that create the need for these programs.
That means investing in solutions that strengthen families, expand opportunity, and reduce dependency cycles, such as improving education outcomes, supporting workforce development, strengthening mental health and addiction services, and creating pathways to stable employment and housing.
Social services will remain important, but they should be paired with strategies that reduce long-term need by addressing root causes and producing measurable progress toward both immediate support and long-term stability and self-sufficiency.

To continue representing my constituents in Cheyenne and the people of Wyoming.
I do not support the property tax reduction. If it passes the legislature will be required to find a new source of dollars to ensure we continue to fund education and local government obligations.
No.
Yes. Not only is it appropriate, but it is also constitutionally mandated. I do not support the recently adopted 'silos' limiting how school districts can spend block grant dollars.
Providing essential social services to those in need is one of the fundamental purposes of state government.
